Mitch,
It is so easy to replace the oil seal rubber in your existing pump. It's
part number is 17048-13910 (after 67.5) (1600 or 2000) or 17048-56700 (pre
67.5). If it's the after 67.5 Kyosan pump, seals from every Nissan car up to
the early 80's used the SAME PUMP (The only difference is the arm length and
geometry. switch arms and voila!). Don't hesitate to open up and learn your
fuel pump, It's a very simple device. replacing the 30+ year old main
diaphragm is also a good idea when you have it out and working on it. The
absolute best way is to have another pump that you can rebuild first and
then just do a swap. be sure to rebuild your old one cause an extra pump is
a good thing to have on-hand.

Subject: fuel pump and body work questions
I'm going to be replacing my fuel pump because of leakage into the oil, but
I'm not sure whether to buy the stock mechanical type or the electric one
from JCW. I'm not worried about staying stock, just which is best.
Also, I removed a chunk of bondo from the left front fender and found that a
PO had hidden some rust and done a very poor patch job on it. See
http://beladi.stormloader.com for photos. Since this bad area goes from the
bottom of the fender to almost the top seam, is the fender salvagable with
patching from another fender or would it be better to go with a new fender.
